Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Conceptually, how it integrates a lot of essential enterprise process components. That's the most valuable.""Valuable features include connectors and BAM.""Enables our Product Manager to post products to different outside EC platforms with only one interface and one process.""What I like best about Oracle SOA Suite is Oracle support. I also like the tool features, especially the integration feature.""The integration with various products.""The ability to stand up a highly available SOA Suite, which has full DR capabilities, in a remote center and synchronize the databases using Data Guard.""This is one of the critical products for my company and we use it extensively. We currently use each and every feature of Oracle SOA.""The most valuable features for us are the APIs, which we commonly use, as well as the scheduling capabilities and file transfers."

"The flexibility and the customizability this solution has when adapting to our business requirements is a huge benefit.""With SAP, you can trust what it tells you.""I like that I don't need any extra tools to keep the solution up and running.""Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.""The presentation is the most valuable feature. It's very conceptual. We had to follow the instructions very strictly. It's a Dutch or German product and we had to follow it step-by-step.""We strongly rely on our SAP data. We need access to the information to analyze it, so the solution allows us to make use of the data that we get from SAP. This is the most valuable aspect of the solution.""The stability is not an issue, and I would rate it at seven out of ten.""Finance and distribution are the most important features."

Cons
"One area that could be better is the human task feature. It could be improved to provide more functionality and customization options because it has limited options available.""The deployment could be made easier by including add-ons like Hudson and Maven.""The web services need to be more robust.""The solution’s initial setup is complex and could be improved.""An important area that can be improved is the product's data monitoring. When we use the solution for interfacing or end-to-end data monitoring, we want to know exactly where the data is going and exactly where it is failing, or where there is an issue.""I would like to see divided containers more separately as a microservice.""The Maven integration in JDeveloper is very basic and might be enhanced to allow the proper use of Maven.""Another area of improvement is performance. Because with multiple solutions connecting to the SOA platform, the performance of the SOA platform can be affected in time. So, that could be one area that could be improved with the SOA."

More Oracle SOA Suite Cons →

"The initial setup was not very easy.""The initial setup is a little complex. The users are not able to install the prerequisite drivers or are not able to follow the SOP because they don't have access to SAP Logon. If users already have access, it will take seven to 10 days to deploy the solution. If they do not, it may take a maximum of 25 to 30 days.""Has become somewhat unstable recently.""There could be regular updates to make the system more stable and capable.""The product documentation can be improved.""SAP is likely transitioning to S4, so it is unlikely that they will continue to use NetWeaver.""Though SAP NetWeaver has been pretty stable and mature, some issues arose after some customizations, so that's an area for improvement.""SAP isn't particularly user-friendly and you have to develop a long list of favorites to be able to get around."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Oracle pricing is expensive. Support is based on your license. AWS is much better than Oracle in this regard."
  • "It is necessary to evaluate the requirement regarding the platform usage and what the main operation area of the platform will be."
  • "This product is WebLogic based, hence it can be both resource hungry as well as expensive from a licensing point of view."
  • "Based on my knowledge, Oracle SOA Suite doesn't have user-based licensing. It has a system-based licensing model, so you pay for whole systems. Oracle SOA Suite is an expensive solution, so it's a four out of ten for me."
  • "The pricing is not very high as compared to its competitors."
  • "The product is moderately priced."
  • "Oracle SOA Suite is an expensive solution."

  • "It's a very expensive solution."
  • "The licensing costs are on a yearly basis."
  • "SAP NetWeaver requires a license, but I'm not sure how the licenses and payments were coordinated."
  • "On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the pricing a nine to ten since it is an expensive solution."

    Questions from the Community
    Top Answer:The solution's XSLT or XSL Transformation feature was very useful.
    Top Answer:The solution’s initial setup is complex and could be improved. A big challenge for Oracle SOA Suite is that you don't get too many technical resources.
    Top Answer:The human capital management module is valuable.
    Top Answer:Software and hardware costs are typically handled by separate departments.
    Top Answer:It needs more improvement in terms of user-friendliness. SAP wasn't user-friendly at all. In interacting with it, it should have a more customizable interface. The interfaces aren't user-friendly, so… more »

    Overview

    Oracle SOA Suite is a comprehensive, standards-based software suite to build, deploy and manage integration following the concepts of service-oriented architecture (SOA). The components of the suite benefit from consistent tooling, a single deployment and management model, end-to-end security and unified metadata management. Oracle SOA Suite helps businesses lower costs by allowing maximum re-use of existing IT investments and assets, regardless of the environment (OS, application server, etc.) they run in, or the technology they were built upon. Its easy-to-use, re-use focused, unified application development tooling and end-to-end lifecycle management support further reduces development and maintenance cost and complexity.
